Seattle indie pop/jangle pop artist Peter Michel aka
Hibou has announced the release of his third studio album '
Halve'.
The follow-up to his 2018´s
Something Familiar, will be out on July 26th via Barsuk Records. Pre-order it
here.
In Halve, Michel creates a characteristically ethereal record addressing the dichotomies between childhood and adulthood, self and society, authenticity and superficiality. The outcome is a work filled with swooning, hazy reflections on loss, love, nostalgia, and joy from a 10,000 foot view.
Michel's vocals comfortably twist from echoing whispers to punkish accusations; his guitar from dizzying surf hooks to lush 80s-inspired chords. Control – and the lack of it – reverberates throughout the album, and the consequence is a set of ten deeply vulnerable songs that will find you romanticizing your own childhood, your own teenage years, your own morning.
